The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 Downloading pcre-light-0.3.1... Configuring pcre-light-0.3.1... cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing C library: pcre This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. I'm on fedora 10. I have package pcre installed. But yum install pcre-dev so no such package. Anyone know the anser? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
